If Josh Kraft cared about Boston or its people he would stand with @MayorWu & tell the AG that the President’s masked muggers are not welcome here, that immigrants are part of our history & our community.
He didn’t. He doesn’t.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Hey, Mike Johnson

You want to know who REALLY hates America

Take a look at your own party

Thousands of messages from Young Republicans praise Hitler, use vile racist language, glorify rape and are outwardly homophobic

And if you ask “where do they get it from”

Well-sh*t rolls downhill, they say
More SNL than SNL!
Trump Watches commercials are now running regularly on Newsmax

Boston looks forward to welcoming the world to our beautiful city, the cradle of liberty and city of champions.

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector.

Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.
Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

Jeffries: "Domestic violence is a serious issue in this country for women all throughout America. And the notion that House Republican leaders would dismiss the seriousness of what is clearly emerging as an untenable and frightening situation relative to Rep. Mills is irresponsible."

I hope lots of people plan to be in the street for "No Kings protest" this Saturday it's going to take a lot of us to stop this!
Trump regime forces brutally beat Americans in the streets of Chicago for witnessing their neighbours be kidnapped and disappeared in broad daylight. Concerned citizens stood up for themselves as the regime continues to expand its fascist terror campaign.

Important points about masked agents here by Jim Zirin. Here is another. Trump’s use of agents as pawns in his war against Democrats puts them in danger and makes them less effective in their actual mission to protect the homeland.

Masked law enforcement enters a danger zone beyond US democracy
The images of people snatched off the street by masked armed men in plain clothes smack of the repressive tactics of authoritarian banana republic regimes.

If you go into a city conducting urban warfare it’s only a matter of time before bullets start coming in your direction from buildings that surround you. It’s wild they seem to be deluded about this inevitability which is the desired outcome of their masters so they can go full Miller. Sacrifices.
Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

A group of House Democrats marched to Speaker Mike Johnson’s office to demand the swearing in of Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. Grijalva won a special election in Arizona in September but has yet to be sworn in.
It’s what she does.
And, if the Globe doesn’t report it, she pays no price.

Hey Boston, I wonder what return on investment the Kraft family expects from their donations to Frank Baker.
(Especially since none of the #Krafts actually live in Boston anymore)

The biggest threat to America isn't Antifa, it's Stephen Miller, Russell Vought (Project 2025) and NAR (New Apostolic Reformation).

Does anyone else feel that everything would be much better if we just streamlined a path to citizenship for these folks?
Our country does benefit by having more workers.

And use diplomatic efforts to influence refugee countries to improve situations for migrants in their home country.

I’m not a Mainer either.
But, Mills has stood up to Trump in public and won.
Platner had zero gov experience.
That matters
The bigger the protests October 18th the more communities' voices will mater.
Still waiting for protests over Russia's murderous invasion of Ukraine on college campuses.

President Zelenskyy at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly annual session:

Putin can be forced into peace - just like any other terrorist. By stopping Russia now, you [Europeans] are not only helping us protect our lives - you are helping yourselves. Russia must lose.

This is a searing read from @donmoyn.bsky.social
about Trump’s growing war on America.

“The Trump administration… wants a government that rules by fear, where we cannot even question the masked and armed gunman that invade our neighborhoods.”

• Purge - eliminating those deemed not to be aligned with Trump.
• Merge - combine different components into a single omniforce.
• Surge - impose Trump's control over Democratic cities; instigate enough unrest to justify escalation; find examples to brutalize and tamp down any dissent.
Does anyone feel as free to post their opinions since Trump was elected? Not a niggling worry about some consequence?

Join millions of Americans October 18th to make your voice heard.
"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

⚡️ A year after relearning to walk following a Russian attack, a Ukrainian journalist ran 10K.

Ukrainian journalist Olha Zvonarova, who learned to walk again after being severely wounded in a Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia, has just completed 10 kilometers at the Kyiv Marathon of Resilience.
Pure manipulation that this was written such that any councilor who didn’t vote to support it would be charged with not supporting BPD.
If not for activists, all elections would depend only on $$.
Something no Americans want.
A co-sponsor of this week’s Council resolution supporting BPD, writes, “It's long past time for elected officials to stop worrying about activists & support our BPD families.”

The resolution passed unanimously.

Every elected condemned the violent activists. Why sow division?
